Its been a while since ive posted. While the car was sitting at home i painted all the turbo piping, fuel rail, fuel reg and external gate to try make it look a little more stealthy incase i ever got asked to pop the bonnet. it looks almost stock now.

I finally got a clutch put in. While it was there i decided to do the timing belt, water pump, crank seals, cam seals etc and solid mount the rear subframe. I really missed driving the car but of course with my luck atm i took it out the next day to a friends and the thermostat was stuck shut causing overheating. I got that taken out and thought my problems were behind me. I was sooooo wrong. I took it out the next day for a drive to wollongong and on the way down i lifted the head :( :( I limped it back to the mechanics and thats were its sitting atm till i can afford to get the head gasket and studs put in. Im so upset with everything. All i want is the car back on the road but at this rate everything is going against me. Its pretty frustrating!!

Horrible luck. The wheels are 18x9.5 + 20 offset. They sit outside the guard a little. It looks nice without too much playing with the guards

Cheer up...you have had a fair bit of "very bad" luck (to put it politely) but I guess it only gets better from here !!

Wat size and offset are your new wheels?

How much boost were you running? Stock turbo? Would take some serious punishment to be 'lifting the head', although a blow gasket I can definitely see.

I was running 20 pound with a garrett 3082. I saw the gasket. There was a small indent in it. However he called me after stripping the engine and sure enough. With my luck all 6 pistons were cracked somehow. He has never seen it before. He thinks its possibly a bad batch of e85. I guess its a rebuild for me. Im kinda over it a little. I just want to have fun with the car already.

Well after living off crumbs i have got the bottom end rebuilt thanks to Zan at SMD workshop. Really helped me out. Only put GTR pistons in it with new rings and bearings etc. When i went in i saw all 6 were cracked and sure enough there was a hole in one of them too. I really missed driving it and having fun with it. Ill be taking it to the drag strip very soon and hitting up some wet pans to really have some fun with it.

Thats all for now i think. Ill keep updates coming on whats planned

Well im back again for another update. Car run great on 291kw but i got a bit bored of it so when i went back for an eflex sensor i decided to push it. Sure enough the rear main crank seal (i think thats what its called) decided to give up on me and i lost compression aswell. Wasnt too suprised or upset so ive decided to go all out and build a 3L bottom end and a couple of new goodies to get it cracking realllllllllly good :) I was kinda of inspired by nytsky's build :)

Yeah im hoping she will be a unassuming monster when its done, Since the car has been sitting around i got all my interior finished off by Silvio at Strictly Auto Trim. 0405553109. He done a great job and at an amazing price. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to retrim anything. Ill get pics up soon of it once i send him the steering wheel to finish off.

All goes well im hoping to have all the stuff back at SMD this week to get started on it.

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of posting. There hasnt been much going on because it started off as just a built 3L bottom end but now since things are taking there time it has turned HUGE. Basically its all getting built to take big big power. Ill update with specs and all that after its all put together around the christmas mark but it will be ready for powercruise next year. In the mean time i decided to sell my ute and buy myself a Stagea as a work car plus it gives me a little bit of skyline to have fun with whilst the 33 is sitting off the road.

More to come soon

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
